Filiah Drops New Single ‘Goodbye’

Austrian singer and songwriter Filiah has just shared her brand new single Goodbye, a warm piece of indie-folk music.

Goodbye is an unfiltered insight into Filiah's mind, dealing with the feeling of abandonment after the sudden ending of a deep love. It's about how the process of choosing to love yourself and saying goodbye can feel like both the best and most painful choice at the same time. This message is wrapped around a memorable production on which her luscious vocals and dreamy harmonies soar beautifully over. I am really enjoying the warm atmosphere of the song with cool guitar riffs and lush strings that allow for the touches of melancholia and nostalgia to soar. Quite an enthralling listening experience that is accompanied by a striking lyric video, filmed and edited by Alina Nimmervoll, which you can check out below!

 

Speaking about the song, Filiah said,

This song is about me realizing that sometimes it doesn’t matter how great and infatuating a love is, if the people involved just end up in these toxic patterns again and again. I found myself getting caught up in nostalgia and memories on purpose just to still feel close to this person after they left. It felt as though I was literally carrying that ghost with me everywhere. And it was crushing. That was not how I wanted to remember it. So I wrote this song as a reminder for myself that saying goodbye sometimes is the only right choice.
